stuck at 2nd boot screen

Hi,
My device is stuck at 2nd boot screen.
It is an Imate K-Jam G3
it is unlocked
i have IPL/SPL 3.08
I can get into 3color boot mode and flash anything.
I try with official Rom, with T-mob 2.26 and with other but all of them do the same. Stuck after the 2nd screen with the IPL/SPL/GSM/OS display on screen.
Every time i flash the screens and info is changed so the flash seems to be fine.
I also try to format fat a few times but the same result.
What else can i try?
Thanks!

Try Using the MTTY Tool
If you can't backup the rom - gives you an access error "you cannot access this...." then your device is CID locked. If it lets you back up, then you can reflash and be back in business. I don't recall the exact name of the program but if you search for MTTY you should find it - follow the directions carefully.

isczar ... I had this a while back and sorted it with the "Love" rom ..details at this post ...

I fixed it with the sd card backup. Unfortunately now i have a useless 1gb card.
If anyone knows how to fix my SD card now, that will be great!

Put it into a card reader, then you can re-partition and format it in PC.

Thank You.

Back to flashing...

PANIC - plz help

I finally got the nerves to put the new radio and rom version on my HTC Touch pro.
It went wrong at 1%, and the recovery option was in a loop.
So I did exit the process after recovering/restarting like 12 times.
It did exit on a 262 error at 0% or 1%...
Ok let’s try one other rom; now I did first run the HardSPL Unsigned 190.1.3 again as advised before every rom update, and it was successful...
But when booting the phone it is stuck at the black TOUCHpro screen with the following red text at the right bottom.
R 1.02.25.19
G 52.33.25.17U
D 1.90.00.00
Now whatever I try, whatever rom version I use, it always tells me the phone is not connected by USB.
Seems like the USB driver or something is not loaded at this stage. Maybe when by some key combination I get the phone in the ROM/Boot loading menu I can try other rom version. But I could be completely on the wrong track here.
I was so happy with my WM6 phone, please help me so I can enjoy my phone again, hopefully not with the old rom and radio ofc, when possible.

Don't panic!
Put a the NBH file of the rom you want to flash on your storage card and rename it to RAPHIMG.NBH. Start the bootloader (reset and keep pressing the volume down button) and follow the directions on the screen. When it sais it flashed succesful reset again.
Of course this only work if you did install the hardspl...
Good luck,
Cheers,
Cacti

Ok found that when I go in bootloader mode manually by pressing the Volume-down and reset button at the same time it can connect to my PC.
But no matter what rom version I try, original, Stock or custom it stops at 0% or 1% .. Giving me any of these errors :
readme.doc said:
ERROR [262, 276, 284, 302] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.
Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.
Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.

Plz help me, I am using the original USB cable and did try a general one, no-USB hub, did remove my firewall/virus scanner software and all.

Put the NBH file on you storage card and rename it. Don't use rhe RUU...

Thanks le_cactus, the above message crossed yours..
I will try getting the new rom trough my MicroSD card, good thing I have no regular Diamond..

Diamond?
This is the HTC Touch Pro forum

Yhea I know, I have the TouchPro... aka as the Professional version of the HTC Diamond in the Netherlands.
Raphael is rarely used here, only by people who are into rom's and TF3D hacks and stuff...
Damn my CF/MD adapter does not seem to work, or my card reader, printer with card reader and my iPaq don't support 8GB cards..
Guess I have to go to the shop tomorrow for a smaller card with a new adapter or a card reader that accepts MicroSD to get my phone back to order.
Thanks for your advice and cooling down my panic moment.. "Bedankt !!!"

Thanks man for 14 euro's I did buy me a card-reader that is able to handle my 8GB microSD card and my problem is solved. Running on 405.3 with latest .28 radio drivers now.

Bricked!?

Hey ,
I just wanted to flash the new BD's V5 5.2.20282 Rom.
I've already had a modified Version so I've done a format BINFS
Code:
Cmd>info 2
GetDeviceInfo=0x00000002
+ SD Controller init
- SD Controller init
+StorageInit
***** user area size = 0x3C8C0000 Bytes
HTCSSuperCID ' HTCE
Cmd>format BINFS
Format BinFS partition.
Format is completed!!
Cmd>
Then I activated Active Sync, started romupdateutility.exe but i didn't recognized the phone. So I switched the phone off and now nothing goes anymore.
I tried the 2 methods for starting the bootloader but nothing works.
What can I do?
Is there any possibity to Jtag the device?

No one can help me?
Is there no chance to recover my phone?

Try to take out the battery for 5 minutes.
Then insert and try to switch on simply long press button of a Power. If Bootloader it is whole, it will automatically be started. If is not present, phone means has died.
And after "format BINFS" it was necessary to enter command "ResetDevice".

HELP: is my Magic bricked?

I was running a hero ROM on my device, and wanted to try an Eclair ROM. I wanted to flash it but in the process I saw something like: E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command on the screen. I went ahead and performed a wipe because I read it was harmless. But then the installation was aborted because the file update.zip couldn't be found (even though it was on my phone). So I went ahead and rebooted my device. Now it always gets stuck at the little green android, then he disappears and I get a black screen. The device remains on however and I need to pull out the battery for it to turn off... COULD ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME

After doing all you did your device should boot normally. Obviously it didn't. I don't know what went wrong, but if you boot into recovery you should be able to flash a ROM.
Just make sure you have the right recovery and right ROM files.

I only have that Eclair rom on my device (which can't be flashed).
My PC won't read the SD card anymore so I can't put any rom on it...

Your not bricked... you basically just failed the update process then wiped your current installed rom with the Wipe. Now you rebooted the phone but there's no rom to load. You now see only the boot starting up and hitting the wall with no rom to load.

That makes sense.. How can I fix this issue?
thank you

Would help if you could give us some info on your phone.
Can you enter recovery or fastboot again ?
phone model, spl & radio version ?

this is why Iphones were invented.... For people who cant understand simple directions or even read for that matter.
What recovery do you have? Get another rom, go into recovery, hit the USB toggle switch and put anothe rrom on. It doesnt have to be named update.zip...
Nevermind.. Doesnt matter what I type here you'll go an do what you want anyway.

I have the htc Magic
How do I get to see my radio and spl?
Yes, I can enter recovery mode.
thank you

I can enter fastboot!
RADIO: 3.22.20.17
SPL 1.33.2005
btw it's a 32A

Where is this USB toggle switch??
Android system recovery utility
Use trackball to highlight:
click to select.
reboot system now [Home+Back]
apply sdcard:update.zip [Alt+S]
wipe data/factory reset [Alt+W]
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
That's all I see.

Only the latest recovery has the Usb option in it.

How can I do it as I can't put the recovery on my SD card?

+1 to that.
You wipe your phone, couldn't boot it and you did not know the reason for this. You wiped your ROM, there's nothing to load up when you boot it. It's so simple.

Wow, just wow. If you need spoonfeed after spoonfeed, How in the world did you root your phone in the first place? You run into problems at EVERY step. Honestly, get the iphone (It's not that badddddd of a phone! Just agreeing with what crypt said!) or don't root your phone. You fail to even look for instructions. I don't understand how your PC can't read your SD card? That probably means it's dead (Which means you need a new one) OR the thought of taking it out and plugging it into an sd adapter never occured to you. I bet you even wiped your SD card somehow.
How come you can't put the recovery on your SD card? Or the rom or anything else

And why was the ROM (update.zip) on your phone and not your sd card? I believe that you fail fail fail to look at any instructions the awesome people have posted here. If you fail to follow instructions given on these forums, how will you follow instructions given from members trying to help you? I find it useless to bother helping any further.

I don't have an sd card adapter and since my phone won't start up, my pc won't recognize my device anymore. Take it easy btw, I'm only looking for help

If help is what you're looking for, then go look around under these forums. I suggest you go and buy an adapter as well, it'd help a lot. May even be your only choice. (I believe there's another way but I'm not going to bother with that as it may be too complicated for you. I dont' think it'd work either with your recovery)
I don't mean to be an ass but when questions like this are posted, I hope you understand. It's as bad as asking how to turn your phone on vibrate. The manual is with your phone and everything, take a look or get some common sense and try the volume buttons.
The forum is your manual. You wiped your ROM, well if you think about it, of course it wont boot up all the way. It has nothing to load. Can't put stuff on your sd card? Get an adapter. It's simple.

I thought people would think right away that they would need an sd adapter to somehow get it onto their computer once they have no other choice lol.

okay that's clear, thank u for your time

For now I don't have an sd adapter, so I stuck the sd card in my brother's phone and tried to put the necessary files but now it seems I have to format the sd card.. Is this harmful or should I just go ahead?

I have the latest recovery but I get a popup message on my PC saying I should format the SD card. Will I still have the 'data' file where I need to put the recovery file under?

what ever you have on it will be erased.
You can also use fastboot to flash the recovery without having to import it into the sdcard. I would not recommend it to you do since lack the basic android knowledge. (all the command are listed in the thread i posted earlier)

If I format the SD card, where should I put the recovery.img if there is no /data anymore? (using the reboot method)

[Q] ;Help please. Can't get my Touch Pro's boot to start

Hello
I've flashed my Touch Pro several times in the past 2 years and everything went always OK. The last time I've flashed with TAELROM_v5.23138_17SEP2010
Everything went OK for several days, until yesterday:
1. battery drained very quick after full charge (6 hours);
2. Can't put it to charge again;
3. Can't wake it up, even with other battery fully charged;
4. No boot menu;
5. With just access to bootloader mode
Some info:
Is the device HardSPL'ed
Yes: SPL-1.90.Olinex
Is the device unlocked
Yes
Access to bootloader mode (tricolour screen)
Yes (won't start the phone even if I try to soft reset in bootloader mode)
How can I revive?
Thanks in advance

If you can get into the bootloader just plug it into your usb port and flash a new ROM.

I've done it already, and the problem stays the same... Although the installation runs normally, after reinstall the phone doesn't restarts unless in bootloader mode!
Could it be a hardware problem?

Try pulling the sd card (and maybe the SIM card) and resetting. A corrupted sd card could jack up the device.

if that does not help then is something wrong with hardware probably.
I always pull out sd card and sim before flashing with new rom just to avoid that kind of problems.

expert.. help me please..

Do you have hard spl? Or were you flashing a stock rom with a gold card? I would try flashing the stock rom for your device/carrier. You may be screwed, if you don't have hard spl.

In my case, the problem was hardware: charging malfunction.
Thanks to all of you who helped me

If you can get into bootloader, then try flashing hard spl. Then flash whatever you want.
